(TO POST Sept. 24) Ep. 229 — Hebrews and Losing Salvation Justin sits down with Ryan Vincent and Drew Moss to tackle some of the biggest questions in Hebrews and Isaiah. Can Christians drift away from faith—or even lose salvation? What does Hebrews mean by moving from spiritual milk to solid food? Why does Hebrews present such a high view of Jesus? Then the conversation turns to Isaiah: why some call it the “Fifth Gospel,” how to understand prophecy and double fulfillment, and what Isaiah’s unforgettable throne-room encounter teaches us about seeing God clearly and answering His call.

Ryan Vincent joins Justin in the studio to wrestle with Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and the closing chapters of Acts. We talk about how to read Ecclesiastes without slipping into nihilism, what it means that life is “vapor,” why we should still enjoy God’s gifts, and how the book ultimately points us toward fearing God. We also discuss the purpose of Song of Songs, baptism and forgiveness in Acts 22, Paul’s Roman citizenship, “The Way,” and whether Acts was ever meant to have a third volume.

Scot Irwin and Jim Johnson join Justin Ebert on Consider This as we finish Proverbs, wrestle with the tension and wisdom of Ecclesiastes, and dig into Acts 18–21. We talk Proverbs 31, how to read Ecclesiastes well, the meaning of “vapor,” and whether or not people should get rebaptised.

Justin is joined by Jim Johnson to discuss Proverbs 1–15 and Acts 14–17. They talk about signs and wonders, appointing elders, Jewish believers wrestling with old traditions, Paul and Barnabas parting ways, Timothy’s circumcision, and Paul’s sermon in Athens. Jim also reflects on lessons from his early ministry in Berea, while the conversation turns to Proverbs for insight on wisdom literature, discipling children, the fear of the Lord, and the enduring wisdom of Proverbs 3:5–6.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert and Drew Moss discuss Acts 10–13 and Psalms 126–150. They explore Peter’s vision, the conversion of Cornelius, how God communicates and directs his people, the core message of the Gospel, and how the church can pray boldly, meet needs, and raise up workers for the mission of God. They go into reasons why people don’t share the Gospel and whether or not all Christians are even called to do so. They also consider when strong rebuke is appropriate in ministry and, as the year’s journey through Psalms comes to a close, reflect on how Christians can continue using the Psalms in prayer, worship, and discipleship.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert and Ryan Vincent discuss Acts 6–9 and Psalms 106–125. They explore leadership and service in the early church, Stephen’s sermon and persecution, Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, baptism and the Holy Spirit in Acts 8, and Saul’s dramatic conversion. They also consider whether God still speaks to his people in unique ways today and why Psalm 119 calls us to see God’s Word and commands as a blessing rather than a burden.

This week on Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Ryan Vincent and Jack Merrill to explore Acts 2–5 and Psalms 86–105. We talk about Pentecost, Peter’s sermon, baptism and salvation, the work of the Holy Spirit, Christian community, boldness in sharing Jesus, the story of Ananias and Sapphira, and what the Psalms teach us about lament. We hope this episode helps you think deeply and grow in your delight in God’s Word.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Drew Moss and Rachel Ritchie to discuss Luke 21–24, Acts 1, and Psalms 66–85. Together, they explore the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, the Old Testament passages he may have explained on the road to Emmaus, his ascension, the coming power of the Holy Spirit, and the promise of paradise. They also reflect on the Psalms and share important truths about God that they needed to remember. Join the conversation as we think deeply and grow in our delight in God’s Word.

In Episode 221, Justin Ebert is joined by Morgan Weece and Jim Johnson to discuss Luke 17–20 and Psalms 46–65. Together, they explore biblical forgiveness, prayer, gratitude, money, the coming of God’s kingdom, seeking the overlooked, and the resurrection. They also reflect on confession, repentance, judgment, and what it means to live with a heart genuinely surrendered to God.

This week on Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Ryan Vincent to discuss Luke 13–16 and Psalms 26–45. The conversation explores some of Jesus’ most challenging teachings about family and the cost of discipleship. Justin and Ryan also examine the puzzling parable of the shrewd manager in Luke 16. They then turn to the imprecatory Psalms—passages in which the psalmists call for judgment upon their enemies—and discuss whether these prayers contradict or align with Jesus’ command to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.

This week on Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Jim Johnson and Drew Moss to discuss Luke 9–12 and Psalms 6–25. What does it really mean to follow Jesus, and can someone be saved by Jesus without surrendering their life to Him? The conversation also explores some of Jesus’ challenging teachings on worry and anxiety. Then, the group reflects on key themes from the Psalms and considers whether the psalmists had special insight into the coming Messiah.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Jim Johnson and Ryan Vincent to discuss this week’s readings from Luke 5–8, Psalms 1–5, and Job 26–42. Together, they explore the miracles of Jesus, loving enemies, the call to produce good fruit, and what Job teaches us about suffering, faithfulness, and the greatness of God.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Ryan Vincent and Jim Johnson to discuss this week’s readings from Job 1–25 and Luke 1–4. Together, they explore the background and message of Job, including what the book teaches about God, suffering, humanity, the satan, and how God’s people can suffer faithfully. They also look at the opening chapters of Luke’s Gospel, considering Luke’s unique portrait of Jesus, his temptation, his healing ministry, his miracles, and his proclamation of the kingdom. Join us as we engage Scripture, ask honest questions, and seek to grow in love for the Lord.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Sam Martin and Jack Merrill to discuss this week’s readings from Esther, 2 Timothy 3–4, Titus, and Philemon. Together, they consider one of the most fascinating questions in the Old Testament: Why is God’s name never mentioned in Esther? Even with God’s name hidden, the story powerfully reveals his providence, sovereignty, and faithfulness to preserve his people in the midst of danger, exile, and political uncertainty. The conversation also turns to Paul’s final words in 2 Timothy, the leadership qualifications and church-order issues raised in Titus, and the challenging moral and theological questions surrounding slavery in Philemon. How should Christians read these passages faithfully today? What do they teach us about courage, Scripture, leadership, discipleship, justice, and the lordship of Christ? Join Justin, Sam, and Jack as they engage Scripture and seek to grow in love for the Lord.

In this episode of Consider This, Justin Ebert is joined by Drew Moss and Rachel Ritchie to discuss Ezra 7–Nehemiah 13, 1 Timothy, and the opening chapters of 2 Timothy. Together they explore the importance of God’s word for ministry, discipleship, and women in ministry.
